With the rise of Uber and other ride sharing services, people are always looking for ways to stay safe for themselves and others. Via the internet and social media, people are able to share their tips and tricks more easily than ever before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the ways people stay safe in taxis and rideshares is by having a quick and easy way to exit the vehicle. This is particularly important to female passengers, who have a tendency to be more innovative and aware of safety precautions. Tiffany Jackson, an author, recently tweeted her latest Lyft experience with the world, and it went viral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jackson\ngot in her Lyft, shut the door, and immediately opened it again. She did this\nto check to make sure the child lock was not activated, which would have\nprevented her from making a quick exit or an exit at all without the help of\nthe driver or another outside person. The driver was new to Lyft and asked her\nif she was checking for child locks. When she answered in the affirmative, he\nsaid he\u2019d have to tell his sister to start doing that. The habit of checking\nfor child locks started after Jackson was in a situation where she couldn\u2019t get\nout of her Uber because they had been turned on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to Check for Child Locks in an Uber<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\nare a few ways of checking to see if the child locks are on or not without\nphysically getting in the car. You can ask the driver to open the door for you\nfrom the inside. This will show you if they are turned on or not. Another way\nis by opening the door, rolling down the window, shutting the door, and opening\nit again by reaching through the open window to use the indoor handle. If you\nare riding with another person, one of you can enter the vehicle, one remain\noutside, shut the door, and have the person inside the vehicle open the door\nfrom the inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jackson\nis just one of many people starting conversations about rider safety. It may\nseem like a silly extra step to incorporate into your ride, but when safety is\nin question, there\u2019s no such thing as too safe. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People are always coming up with new and ingenious ways of staying safe in the world.
